In order to introduce stacks of horizontally aligned flat, preferably disk-shaped, groups of items ( 23 ) formed by one or more items ( 18 ) into tubular bags ( 16 ) by means of a vertical tubular bag machine ( 1 ), it is proposed that a vertical filling pipe ( 6 ) is adapted with respect to its cross section to the horizontal dimensions of the group of items ( 23 ), the width ( 19 ) and the depth ( 20 ) of the filling pipe ( 6 ) being made to match the width ( 21 ) and the depth ( 22 ) of a group of items ( 23 ) and the group of items ( 23 ) being placed above the filling pipe ( 6 ) in such a way that a first equal spacing ( 26 ) in the direction of the width ( 19 ) and similarly a second equal spacing ( 27 ) in the direction of the depth ( 20 ) of the filling pipe ( 6 ) is provided on opposite sides of the group of items ( 23 ), in each case between an outer edge ( 24 ) of the group of items ( 23 ) and the inner surface ( 25 ) of the filling pipe ( 6 ), that these spacings ( 26, 27 ) do not all have the value zero, that the filling pipe ( 6 ) has a cross section that is symmetrical to axes of symmetry ( 28, 29 ) of the group of items ( 23 ), and that two pipe segments ( 30, 31 ) of the filling pipe ( 6 ) that are opposite and parallel to each other, extend in the transporting direction ( 10 ) and on which film takeoffs ( 8 ) of the tubular bag machine ( 1 ) act are provided.
